You guys are such jerks! You made not one attempt to assist this guy. Who are you to belittle him and not even offer any help. This is why HT has a bad reputation.

There are many ways to remove fittings from tight spaces, if vice grips do not work, sometimes a pipe wrench will do it. Pipe wrenches can be purchased in very small sizes. I have a good number of tools at my disposal.

If you cannot get it taken care of your self, consider hiring a mobile mechanic to do it for you. Good luck

There is no easy compression fitting for brake lines. It will require a special flare tool and some special fittings which can be expensive if you do not have a good source for them. One place that you can try and find a mobile mechanic is in the Craigslist of your locality under services offered.
